Utilities

The public utility sector consists of a variety of industries, ranging from electricity companies, waterworks and sewage plants to cable television companies. As diverse as they may be, they all have an increasing need for data applications. Especially since smart grid and smart cities have become buzz words. This calls for future-proof communications solutions and forward-looking suppliers. With Rohill’s TetraNode, utilities have everything they need to meet the future challenges in communications.

TETRA for utilities

Considering the increasing need for data applications, TETRA is the perfect standard for public utility networks. Precisely because TETRA offers migration options to high-bandwidth data, making it future-proof. But there is more. Utilities cannot rely on commercially operated networks like GSM as these are fed by the energy network itself, and people will use cellular networks most when other networks fail. A blackout of the energy network would therefore also affect the availability of cellular communications. With an independent network like TETRA this will not happen. Apart from these major benefits, TETRA offers robust data capacity and throughput compared to other narrowband technologies. Plus, TETRA terminals offer comprehensive voice and data capabilities, built-in GPS, SCADA interfaces and Radio User Assignment for use in business-critical environments.

TetraNode for utilities

Rohill’s TetraNode offers significant benefits for utilities. First of all, it offers higher data capacity and flexibility compared to other TETRA infrastructures. Second, TetraNode supports a wide range of PABXs, including legacy analogue and ISDN as well as modern SIP-based PABX solutions. Third, our base stations offer best-of-class RF performance, providing coverage with fewer sites. Last but not least important: TetraNode is environmental-friendly. It has a low energy consumption, a small hardware footprint and a future-proof platform that integrates with future technologies, reducing the need for disposal.

Our utility customers

With TetraNode, our customers enjoy many benefits; high capacity, a wide range of features, excellent reliability, scalability and modularity. All with low operational costs. More than that, they can seamlessly migrate to the next generation broadband networks based on LTE. TetraNode is therefore the best basis for the high speed data requirements of today’s and tomorrow’s utilities, including smart city and smart grid applications. Our customers feel better served with forward-thinking communications equipment suppliers, and that is exactly what we aim to be.
